GTG 7.14.2020

I'm not quite sure, with all the stimulus checks out there, how I was considered unworthy to sup from that teat too, especially considering the constituents I serve every day here who offer to purchase my package privilege from me... which is not exactly against the rules well it is technically! but it certainly feels undignified. But then so does eating the scraps from off other peoples food trays at chow time!
Stimulus: something that rouses or incites to activity: as an incentive

Memorandum
Date July 1, 2020
To Associate Directors, Division of Adult Institutions
Wardens

Subject ADDITIONAL QUARTERLY PACKAGE DURING COVID-19

This memorandum is in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and current allowable quarterly packages for inmates. Wardens are directed to afford the inmate population the opportunity to purchase an additional package for the year.
The process for providing inmates with an additional quarterly package will need to be tailored for each respective institution observing physical plant design while noting the following directives:
The year shall begin January 1 and end December 31 as outlined in the Department Operations Manual (DOM) Section 54030.8 Personal Property Package Criteria

* Privilege Grop A/Privilege Group B: Inmates in Privilege Group A and B shall be allowed four packages per year (one per quarter) not to exceed 30 pounds each. During the COVID-19 credit an additional package purchase will be permitted.
* Privilege Group C: Inmates in Privilege Group C shall not be allowed a Personal Property Package. Inmates prohibited from receiving a package resulting from recent placement into Privilege Group C shall not be allowed to retain a package which was ordered prior to Privilege Group C placement. Disallowed packages shall be disposed of pursuant to DOM Section 54030.12.2 (No Change)
* Privilege Group D: Inmates in Privilege Gropu D, Including those inmates housed in Administrative Segregation (ASU/Security Housing Unit (SHU) and Psychiatric Services Unit (PSU) shall be permitted to acquire one personal property package per year not to exceed 30 pounds each. During the COVID-19 crisis an additional package purchase will be permitted. Eligibility to acquire a personal property package commences one year after the date of Privilege Group D assignment.
This policy memorandum will remain in effect until this COVID-19 crisis is no longer in effect or rescinded.
30 pounds for a 90-day period doesn't seem like much to supplement the meager menu (Attached x 6) here, but NOTHING certainly doesn't. I'm not begging this public, nor am I entitled, but a closed mouth - as they say -doesn't get fed. Be blessed in your blessings. St Matthews 25:31/40
